The Devil Came Down to Louisiana
Its been a long ride, though as the Rider goes, a fast one. The trail led him, eventually, to the outskirts of New Orleans, and, of all things, an abandoned amusement park. Before exploring too far, he lets the flems die out, returning to his mortal guise, and hits the nearest payphone to let the team know where he's at.

	"Zdravstvujte," Irina said as she answered her cell phone. "Hello?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Hey, so I'm in New Orleans. The trail led to an old amusement park. The signs say closed for renovations. It looks like they're doing some seriously ambitious work on the place, but there's no one here. I didn't want to explore very far without backup. There's some serious bad vibes coming off the place." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We can be there in a few moments," she told him. "Can you give me an approximation of your location? The name of the amusement park perhaps?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Irina sent a text message to all of the others. Meet by The Pond in Central Park in 45. Nicholas has a lead. Forty five minutes later Irina was waiting at the designated meeting place. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Eliza was dressed for the occasion. She had gotten ready and slipped out as soon as she could so she comes from around some trees and greets Irina with a smile. "We're waiting on the others, I take it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lyta touched on the ground down next to Eliza. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He finds the unconscious bodies in a new construction area. It looks like most of them are laid out where concrete is supposed to be poured whenever the construction crews next arrive. "They're all alive - I think they need them that way to keep the clones animated. Doesn't look like they were supposed to stay that way much longer. Can't speak for their condition."

	Lyta crouched next to one of the bodies. "Their minds seem unaltered. As far as I can tell. I don't like to pry too deep." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They all have their souls, untainted... except..." he points to Franklin. "That one has had dealings, and has Mephisto's interest. He is not damned, but that devil has not given up on his soul either. He bears watching." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	There's a sound of many footsteps approaching. A few moments later a phalanx of Spartans appeared. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Dammit. This was not good. Irina couldn't battle them hand to hand. Knives against swords and spears didn't match up. It was time for another tactic. She started to open a portal a foot in front of the lead soldiers. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Need a hand," Lady Devil asks. The tone of voice and the way Eliza is carrying herself has shifted. She has gone from the care free acting American teenager to her costumed persona. There looks like quite a few Spartans. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The Spartans weren't the only part of Pluto's agent's forces. A cyclops right out of Greek myth and wielding a large club appeared. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"By mine father's beard!" Argo exclaimed as he saw the Cyclops. "Finally! A challenge!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_olympian 2010-01-18 10:52 pm UTC (link)
	The cyclops wasn't particularly bright, but he knew what to do with loud-mouthed little men. The giant club he held was in motion to smash the little man. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ng_olympian 2010-01-18 10:22 pm UTC (link)
	The cyclops wasn't the only being out of Greek myth to appear. Antaeus, son of Posiedon, appeared. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	The Rider may not know the reference right off hand, but he can sense the strongest mystical power present. He takes off with a hellish roar from the engine, ringing the giant in flames to try and buy them some time while he tries to locate Pluto's agent. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Antaeus wasn't afraid of a man or of a little fire as long as he was in contact with the earth. He laughed and charged right toward the man on fire. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A dark spot appeared in the sky and gradually grew bigger. A harpy circled overhead. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Oh shit." Lyta took to the sky. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The harpy flew directly at the winged woman, talons ready to cut into flesh. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Regardless of how the fight with Anateus is going, the Rider senses his true quarry at last. There can be no further delay. Abandoning Corey and the rest, he guns the engine and tears after the sense of supernatural evil, racing deeper into the carnival, through and over any obstacles in the way. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	The priest is in what would be a fun house and is currently reading from a page of the darkhold. There's a body of what looks to be a politician on an altar in front of him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The cry for vengeance is gone, his work here done for now. By the time he returns to the others, as the various clones melt away, he's back to himself, and the bike is nice, but not quite the demon cycle anymore. "Its done." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Lyta landed on the ground in front of the group. "Good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
